Chapter 122 Aboriginals
While the original body was talking to Qin Xia, Kahn was still fighting hard.
He is as tireless as his brothers, with only a high spirited fighting spirit and an urgent need for recognition from the Gene Father.
Kahn silently rushed towards a circular fortification in front of him, using the impact of his shoulder armor and body to break through the weak outer wall of the fortification and rush into it.
The brain has issued commands to the body one after another, and the body continues to execute those commands from the mind at an extremely fast speed.
Hack and slash, shoot.
But when Kahn's visual system caught something strange, the instructions from the brain were interrupted, and like a whirlwind of killing, the bodies of everyone in the fortification swept across and stopped stiffly and abruptly.
The ground was littered with corpses.
But not all the people here were dead. There were several women huddled in the corner holding their children, screaming in terror.
Their beautiful faces turned pale with fear, their plump lips trembled, and all their delicate facial features showed was fear.
There was still artillery fire outside, but inside this fortification, time seemed to have stood still.
Kahn's blue shoulder armor and white breastplate have been stained red by the blood of the enemy.
A drop of blood mixed with hair from nowhere slid down the shoulder armor.
Some pieces of meat and bones flew between the teeth of the chain ax that was rotating at high speed in his left hand.
The muzzle of the smoke-belching gun was pointed at the person huddled in the corner.
"Centurion..." A battle brother behind him pointed to the ground.
Kahn looked down and saw a blond man without armor or weapons holding his chopped waist, too weak to even let out a scream.
Kahn felt cold from head to toe.
Those hearsay stories about Gene Father’s deeds, those words that came from Gene Father’s own words at the pre-war meeting, these things kept lingering in Kahn’s mind.
When Kahn realized that he had killed a civilian, he felt that the distance between himself and the original body was instantly stretched by tens of millions of meters.
After reacting, Kahn's first thought was to kill everyone here, but recalling the reminder from the think tank named Tethys, his body that quickly responded to the thought stopped after a brief tremor.
"Stop the attack."
The voice of the legion commander reached Kahn's ears, and a cold face appeared in the lower right corner of Kahn's field of vision.
"Those mortal soldiers will take over from us to stabilize the front."
"The Primarch ordered us to temporarily stop the attack and assemble."
...
The World Eaters gathered in a fortified landing site built by the Navy on the surface.
The fleet is dropping more soldiers from Nuceria onto the landing site.
Farther away, the navy's engineering team was inspecting more than fifty war machines.
Those war machines are equipped with shields, and their right hands are equipped with different weapons, either long guns or giant cannons.
The war machines have uniform paint and stand together like soldiers.
Kahn saw them and recalled that he had seen some similar war machines in previous battles, called knights. There were actually knight mechas on Nuceria, which made Kahn feel Curiosity and surprise.
But fear quickly dissipated curiosity and surprise. Kahn, who usually stood at the front, now stood at the end with thousands of soldiers from the 8th Assault Company.
Those who have made mistakes in the legion are not qualified to stand in the front.
“You are not the only one unlucky.”
The voice came from behind Kahn. When he turned around, he saw another company commander wearing a cloak.
Ma Ge, the commander of the 18th company. Mago stood next to his best friend and whispered: "My company attacked simultaneously with the mortal soldiers. The gunboat bombed a fortification. I found something was wrong and went in to check and saw a pile of corpses of non-combatants."
"It really puts my mind at ease to have a hapless guy like you by my side." Kahn replied angrily.
“It’s not just me, the unlucky guy, accompanying you, you bastard, but also other unlucky guys.” Mago looked around.
Kahn was silent for a moment and asked: "How do you think the original body will handle this matter?"
Mago recalled what he heard from the mortals when he was fighting with them, and then replied: " We'd better pray that those killed by mistake are slave owners or minor nobles, because they'll be cut down anyway... but if not, he'll probably tear us in half."
ka. En nodded, was quiet for a second, and then suddenly spoke.
"I am more afraid that the original body will alienate us because of this."
Hearing this, Mago did not reply. All the World Eaters remained silent and maintained a strict formation.
Because the legion commander took a transport plane to the landing point with the original body and the psyker beside the original body.
"This is my negligence."
"My negligence."
Angron stepped on the soft soil that splashed up as soon as Nuceladus stepped on it. The muscles in his legs tightened due to force, allowing him to walk in a low-gravity environment as if he were walking on a planet.
"It was me who was stupid." said Corps Commander Kiel. "I was too eager for quick success and allowed the Corps to launch an attack without conducting in-depth reconnaissance."
After arriving in front of everyone, the original body stopped.
"There are natives on Nueda."
The Primarch said to everyone.
“I was negligent, because all the intelligence I collected in preparation for the attack on Nuceladus showed that there could be no indigenous people on Nuceladus, but I should still conduct an investigation. "
"Now that we know there are aborigines on Nuwei, we should try our best to avoid accidentally killing them in the next attack."
Angron glanced at everyone.
"I know you have doubts about my order in your heart. Your fighting style is not like this. You are not good at doing what I say."
"You may think that I can't do it because of this. Accept the sacrifice and feel that I am weak."
"As I said before, I am not a good person. I have also done cruel things. I have ordered the indiscriminate killing of nobles and guards. , maybe there were a few good people among them, but I killed them all together."
"This is a subjective judgment I made on a group based on my own ideas, or because of a group I care about more. The desire for revenge drives me to make such a decision, rather than a divine judge who is absolutely fair like a god."
"In my opinion, those Nuedi natives should never die. They have nothing to do with this war. They are more innocent than the oppressed and should not die for no reason."< br>
“Can you understand what I mean? The indigenous people on Nueda have never been from the slave owners’ side, and they have never enjoyed the benefits of oppression, so we should avoid them as much as possible Death, just like I also avoided using heavy firepower to bomb cities with civilians in siege battles during the Nukerian Revolt."
When Angron tried to make his descendants understand his thoughts, He used his gifts to bring his emotions to his children.
But his descendants did not understand the reasons for the birth of those emotions. They were just "inexplicable empathy" with the original body due to the sudden influx of emotions into their hearts.
“I know that manslaughter cannot be avoided in war, but I ask you to try your best.”
"..."
Qin Xia was thinking deeply.
There are aboriginal people on Numoon 2, which even people who once ran from Numoon 2 to Numoon 1 don’t know.
Previous observations of Nucelad have also shown that there are no signs of human activity on Nuceladus. There are not even fields here, and there are no signs of any production activities. Those How do the aborigines survive in this hellish place until now?
But there are still indigenous people on this satellite. No matter how they survive until now, they have a way.
Angron was right, he was indeed negligent.
